New patent Owner -entrepreneur

Garet is a gifted and creative lawyer. He was able to see how my original pending patent was created from a large firm and why it was getting denied! This can be a very frustrating process and needed a new lawyer. After hiring Garet to be my new attorney, his knowledge and experience got the job do...ne!!! I RECEIVED MY PATENT!!! I can’t thank him enough and almost gave up on the process! Don’t give up …find the right attorney !

I am relatively new with this firm but have had Garet draft a couple of utility patents for us. Both were a bit under the gun but Garet stepped up and got them both filed with hours to spare. He was very quick to understand the concept and mechanics of both of our designs, in fact, I never even met h...im face to face until filing our second patent. All communication was done over the phone and/or by email. Note that our first patent was granted and our second one is still patent pending. Great value. I would definitely recommend.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
